Early the next morning, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly finished his meal, got dressed and was about to go out.
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "If someone else becomes the prince of the prison country, they will have to be majestic and illustrious.
Look at the prince of our family who is the prisoner of the country. He makes people cry every day, and you don't know what kind of record his highness will be recorded in the history books. "
Zhu Qiyu laughed at himself and said: "There is nothing we can do. The Prince of the Supervisory State is a bit cowardly. Let's just make do with it.
Cry one day today, cry another day tomorrow, and finally I’m done crying. Although it is of no use and cannot move anyone, at least we have a beginning and an end.
The day after tomorrow we will go outside the city to give silver rewards to the guards; the day after tomorrow we will formally enthrone Li Jianshen as the crown prince and Concubine Zhou as the imperial concubine; the day after tomorrow, the mother-in-law will officially move out of the palace.
This is the plan for the past few days. Look at which job is yours and do it. After doing these other things, you can do whatever you want. I'm leaving first, no need to send it off. "
By the time Zhu Qiyu had finished crying all morning, the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites at Bunren Hall had already handed the title book to Cining Palace.
It happened that Queen Qian and Concubine Zhou also gathered in Cining Palace to pay their respects to Queen Mother Sun.
After reading the title book, Empress Dowager Sun frowned deeply, raised her head, and looked back and forth between Empress Qian and Concubine Zhou.
Even though Queen Mother Sun had not read much, she still knew the principle of two peaches killing three scholars.
There is only one position for the queen. Queen Qian is now the legitimate wife and the official wife, but has no children.
Although Concubine Zhou is a concubine, she has a son and a daughter, and her son will soon be officially crowned prince.
The problem now is that Qi King Zhu Qiyu, who lacks great virtue, coerced hundreds of officials to submit a letter, requesting that Concubine Zhou be canonized as an imperial concubine.
You know, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have only been imperial concubines at most, and no imperial concubine has been canonized yet.
Empress Dowager Sun cursed in her heart, Zhu Qiyu was afraid that Empress Qian and Concubine Zhou would not fight fiercely enough.
Although it was a conspiracy, Empress Dowager Sun had little idea. After all, it is human nature and legal logic that a mother is more valuable than her son. In the future, when Zhu Jianshen succeeds to the throne, Concubine Zhou will definitely be the Queen Mother, so now the ministers are unwilling to offend Concubine Zhou, so they have no choice but to be coerced by Zhu Qiyu, and unanimously request that Concubine Zhou be appointed as the imperial concubine.
Empress Dowager Sun looked at Empress Qian with confusion, so she had to ask: "Queen Mother, is there something wrong with Your Majesty?"
Queen Mother Sun shook her head and handed the question book to Queen Qian: "You two, take a look for yourselves."
Queen Qian took it, looked at it carefully, looked calm, and handed it to Concubine Zhou.
After Concubine Zhou saw it, she was overjoyed: once she was canonized as the imperial concubine, she would be equivalent to the deputy concubine. In addition, his father and brothers were all banned from official positions. After that, his power increased greatly, almost overtaking the queen.
Empress Dowager Sun had a clear view of the two people's reactions, and could only sigh secretly in her heart, but warned: "You all should be careful, the current situation, the capital is in danger.
The Lai Changjun of the country is the general trend and the public's expectation. After the crown prince is appointed, the King of Qi will succeed him. You all know what you are doing, so don't make any mistakes. "
Empress Qian nodded obediently, but Empress Dowager Sun's words were meaningless whether she listened or not. Anyway, Empress Qian had no cards in her hand.
Concubine Zhou also nodded, but she disagreed in her heart: Anyway, when the emperor was here, it was Zhu Jianshen who was the eldest son, waiting for the emperor to die before he could have a chance to succeed to the throne. After Zhu Qiyu became the emperor and Zhu Jianshen became the prince, it became a matter of waiting for Zhu Qiyu to die before he could succeed to the throne.
Both Zhu Jianshen and Zhu Jianshen had to endure it, and it didn't matter whether the emperor was changed or not. As for Concubine Zhou, when the emperor was there, the concubines in the harem didn't even have a formal title, so everyone just screamed about concubines and concubines in a confused way. In Zhu Qiyu's place, at least he was given the official title of the first imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty, and his father and brothers also received big rewards.
For Concubine Zhou, it would be better to follow Zhu Qiyu than follow the orthodox emperor.
After some discussion, the three most powerful women in the harem all accepted Zhu Qiyu's succession. Then the rest is simple.
The next three days were uneventful.
…
Three days later, Zhu Jianshen was officially canonized as the crown prince, and Concubine Zhou was officially canonized as the imperial concubine.
After the registration was completed in the morning, the civil and military officials immediately presented a speech to the Empress Dowager, asking to make King Qi the emperor.
At noon, the Empress Dowager replied: Your Majesty and others have reported the country's major plans and agreed with Yun's request. He ordered King Qi to take the throne as emperor. The Ministry of Rites will arrange a day to hear it.
In the afternoon, Zhu Qiyu was hugging the little princess and taking a nap comfortably. Ministers had already swarmed in and blocked the entrance of the palace.
Hundreds of officials surrounded the gate of the palace, and this formation was not young or old.
Fortunately, the personal guards of the palace all followed Zhu Qiyu and killed the ministers at the Fengtianmen court meeting. Facing today's battle, they naturally had no stage fright.
Liu Chang walked up to Chen Xun with a nonchalant expression, cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen Ge, my Highness has said that he has been exhausted for the past two days and will take a day off at the palace. He will not deal with political affairs today. .If anything happens, His Highness will go to Benren Hall tomorrow to inspect the government. It won’t be too late for the elder to report to you then.”
Chen Xun smiled bitterly and said: "We've already reached the capital with the invasion of Walas, so why take a rest? We ministers have never had a day off, so we're holding on. You go and send someone to report it. We'll wait here. Don't see His Highness the King of Qi." We won’t leave.”
Liu Chang had already received Zhu Qiyu's order, so he did not insist on it at the moment. He asked the ministers to go to the main courtyard and went to the backyard to report the news in person.
The announcements came down one level at a time, and finally Su Xi and Qian Xue entered Zhu Qiyu's bedroom.
The two little girls climbed onto the bed and rocked on Zhu Qiyu's side, one on the left and the other on the right.
Zhu Qiyu was not lazy. Yesterday, he paid rewards to his personal guards. His arms ached from exhaustion. Today, he personally presided over the ceremony of establishing the crown prince. He was really exhausted.
Now that I'm shaken awake, I'm going to have an attack. Only when he saw that it was the cute little sisters who woke him up, did he calm down and put on an amiable smile and asked: "But those ministers are here?"
Qianxue replied: "Your Highness is really good at predicting events. Hundreds of people came in one breath and our main courtyard was packed."
"Okay, let's wait for His Highness to change his clothes."
Lin Xiangyu was awakened by the movement of several people and had to get up to serve. Zhu Qiyu stopped quickly: "It's cold outside the bed, and the princess is naked and naked, so she'd better lie down. Wait for me here obediently. I'll be back in just half an hour, and I'll let you have a good night's sleep. "
Zhu Qiyu was served by two little girls, got dressed and came to the main courtyard.
When the ministers saw Zhu Qiyu coming in, they knelt down one after another. Chen Xun took the lead and said: "Your Highness, the Holy Spirit is driving north to hunt, the crown prince is young, the country is in danger, and people's hearts are turbulent. There is an old saying: A country has a long king, and the country is blessed.
The ministers and other civil and military ministers jointly submitted a letter, asking the Empress Dowager to make Her Highness the emperor in order to secure the temple and the country. The Empress Dowager has approved the edict, and I would like to ask Your Highness to take up his position early to reassure people's hearts. "
The ministers also shouted together: "Your Highness, please take up your position as soon as possible to calm people's hearts."
